Antiproton Dual Cannons are Energy damage starship weapons with a 45° firing arc. They can only be mounted in the fore weapon slots. Dual Cannons fire 4 shots per cycle, with each cycle lasting 3 seconds. One shot will do half of damage compared to Dual Heavy Cannons, but with higher number of shots per cycle, they have same Damage Per Second (DPS). Their damage will fall off with distance to the target.

Antiproton Dual Cannons are red with a black void border. Up close, the energy looks a lot more unstable, similar to Plasma and Tetyron energy. They come with a natural +20 to Critical Severity on top of other Modifiers.

These weapons are functionally identical to the Standard Energy Weapons above, but are visually different when firing. This includes all 23rd-century weaponry, with the exception of the 23rd century Plasma Torpedo Launcher in the section below.
